WEEK #7 Exmoor Ponies – By Elizabeth

My favorite animals are horses. I have been riding horses since I was four. I love horses because they all have different personalities. I have ridden, nice ponies, bratty ponies/horses, calm ponies/horses, energetic ponies/horses.  Horses are unique and have evolved many times. Horses come from all over and they all have a talent. Jumping,Racing,Dressage, ext…

The pony I presently ide right now is named Chadwick. He is an Exmoor pony. Chadwick is brattiest horse you will ever meet. He bites me and bucks me off, but I still love him. He lives in a pasture with an apple tree and his own barn because he hates other horses. He has a very thick mane that always gets tangled in thorns. His mane looks like a bird nest. He is a bay horse with light dapple spots on his but. His ears are fuzzy and so soft. His eyes are so brown they look like melted chocolate. I love him so much even though he is a very bratty pony. I love him because he is cut and he always makes me laugh with his bratty behaviors.

Just a little history lesson on Exmoor ponies. They are going extinct and there are by 2010 only 800 left worldwide. They come from the British Isles and Devon Somerset Southwest England. Exmoor Ponies are the oldest British breed. The Celts came to Britain and trained them. Exmoor ponies have been with man for at least 30,000 years!
